My thoughts on God vary from day to day. I guess my views on the subject change with my mood. When I'm in a good mood and everything is going well, I tend to think there is an existence of a higher power. There are days, though, when it seems like the whole world is against me; and these are the days that I wonder about the existence of a higher power.
